“How you perceive yourself is how others will see you.” – Paul Arden

Would you like to hear people say these things about you?

You’re caring.

You’re capable

You’re confident.

You’re kind.

You’re lovable.

You’re smart.

You’re thoughtful.

Do you think these things about yourself?

Scratch that.

Do you really believe these things about yourself?

How you see yourself will be amplified and then communicated within every interaction you have. Your view of yourself will show up in your actions, body language and the words you use when you’re speaking to people.

Focusing on behaving and building the character traits you want to be known for is much easier than convincing others and once you begin to act in alignment with how you feel about yourself, others will begin to see you that way too.

Your thoughts about yourself are your keys to how others perceive you and ultimately what they’ll say about you. And although your identity shouldn’t be dependent on what people say and think about you, navigating socially is easier when people view you in a positive light.

So begin to believe about yourself what you want others to believe about you, and you’ll find that over time people will indeed see you, how you think of yourself.
